Other textbooks set out theorems on the phenomena of reflection and refraction (the field called catoptrics).
He is known for his cast acrylic sculptures of color and geometric shapes using the reflection and refraction of light.
This can be done by ray tracing, a rendering technique that uses basic optical laws of reflection and refraction.
The Schmidt telescope is thus a catadioptric telescope; i.e., its optics involve both the reflection and refraction of light.
Midwinterblood by Marcus Sedgwick is a novel of reflection and refraction, of love and loss, of fear and hate but most of all it is a novel about sacrifice.
In his doctoral thesis at the University of Leiden (1875), Lorentz refined the electromagnetic theory of James C. Maxwell of England so that it more satisfactorily explained the reflection and refraction of light.
On earth, seismology (the study of earthquake waves) is used to probe the planet's interior by measuring the reflection and refraction of those waves by the layers of rock involved.
Geophones also called jugs, pickups, and tortugas are placed on the ground surface in various patterns, or arrays, to record the vibrations generated by explosives in seismic reflection and refraction work.
He refers to the "laws of reflection and refraction" as leges communes nature.
However, the conventional reflection and refraction laws may be violated in the presence of a metasurface, and reflection and refraction at the metasurface obey generalized laws of reflection and refraction (Yu et al., 2011).
Electro-optic switching in both reflection and refraction makes use of this behavior of twisted nematics.
